WOW chromebook How to:

Post by Sas148

Since no one wrote this yet that I found I will give you my 5 hours of tinkering and first time on Linux on How to run Wow on your chromebook. Im running a 5 550, should work on others.1. Install ChrUbuntu lots of how to's online2. Install wine from app store3. steal wow from Windows PC, put it on external HDD.4. configure config.WTF add these lines to the bottomSET ffxDeath "0"SET ffxGlow "0"SET gxApi "opengl"5. Make your gfx card compatable like this:1. driconf install, sudo apt-get install driconf 2. open driconf (via terminal), go to the tab "image quality" and activate the S3TC texture compression, even if the software support is not available. (Default is "no" change to "yes") 6. ENJOY WOW on your chromebook!1. go to HDD and right click on WOW.exe and go to run with wine.- I kinda wish google would release linux drivers for these, but it seems to work fine like this.-I play on low settings with maxxed out view distance, sometimes I think I have a little trouble with the wifi settings

I forgot to add, to get it not to crash when alt tabing, enter winecfg in console and force it to run at your native resolution enjoy, I hope i get good responces! im on my chromebook in ubuntu right now

like i said also, first time on linux, it was way easier than expected! I think I might switch my gaming rig to linux.

20 fps average in orgimar.

On which settings and, perhaps more important, on which resolution?

native 1280*800, i didnt want to go lower lol, the reason i did this is because i play with my gf, and i was playing on a netbook with a single core 1.6 atom, 512 ram (extreme lagg) at 600*800, i was about to add ram and a ssd, but no need anymore... im giving the netbook away haha

on high, and the play quality is arround the same, fps average of this machine in orgimar is 24 @ 720p

chromebooklow settings with high view distance. so i can see far away. at 1280*800, it doesnt even max out 1 core in the chromebook, so multitasking great while in game, the acer c7 is single core though, so multitasking is not guaranteed, I saw there was one person on youtube who got it working on a acer c7, he had no multitasking going on, he said no lag in game though, the lowest my fps will drop is 16, and a average of 22 in orgimar, according to titan.
